Synopsis

It is 1961, two years after the events of the first film took place, and a new academic year is just beginning at Rydell High School. The Pink Ladies are now led by the beautiful Stephanie Zinone (Michelle Pfeiffer), who feels she has "outgrown" her relationship with the arrogant leader of the The T-Birds, Johnny Nogerelli (Adrian Zmed) during summer break. A new arrival comes in the form of clean-cut English student Michael Carrington (Maxwell Caulfield), the cousin of Sandy Olsson (the character played by Olivia Newton-John in Grease). Michael quickly becomes smitten with Stephanie, despite the gentle protestation of the sole remaining lead character from the first film, Frenchy (Didi Conn), who observes that she will not date him since he is not a T-Bird.

Critics' reviews

"Less a sequel than a retread...Dizzy and slight, with an even more negligible plot than its predecessor had. This time the story can't even masquerade as an excuse"

Janet Maslin: The New York Times
"This movie just recycles 'Grease,' without the stars, without the energy, without the freshness and without the grease. Read full review (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"The singing, dancing and staging isn't memorable in Grease 2. It's just imaginative and energetic enough to keep you interested. The same can be said for the whole film."

Boston Globe
"Grease 2 is the most serendipitous sequel in recent memory. It is an ingratiating, jubilant improvement on a crummy original."

Gary Arnold: The Washington Post
Definitely of the so-bad-it's-almost-good genre, this kinda stands the test of time in a camp way, mainly because of the charm of Pfeiffer and Carrington (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Emma Cochrane: Empire
